Xbox 360 HD DVD Drive Price Drop Rumor

Looks like the death of HD DVD has brought about cheap HD DVD players which have been rebranded to “upconverting DVD players with HD DVD playback”. Microsoft is certainly playing along assuming this rumor is correct – the Xbox 360′s HD DVD player is currently being lined up for a price cut, with a speculated price of $50 being bandied about. No idea if anyone is actually going to purchase this even if the price drops to less than that – perhaps curious folks who wonder what the HD DVD fuss is all about.
